Rx-Saver Program Could Save You Money

NEW! ASA and Sunergeo Inc. now offer members a no-cost prescription drug discount card through the Rx-Saver program. The Rx-Saver discount prescription card is accepted by more than 63,000 pharmacies nationwide, including all major chains. The person who will benefit most from the Rx-Saver card is someone who has no prescription drug insurance coverage or limited coverage. This easy-to-use, no-cost offering is estimated to provide ASA members the opportunity to save an average of 20 percent annually on their prescription drug purchases. Also, the program covers everyone in the cardholder’s household, so members may purchase their spouse’s or children’s prescriptions on the same discount plan. With the rising cost of health care and related expenses, this new member benefit will assist members, their employees and families in reducing some of those costs. ASA members are encouraged to take advantage of this savings opportunity, as well as provide it to their employees as part of their overall employee benefits package.
